Country singer Boxcar Willie is cutting short his season after being diagnosed with leukemia.
Willie, who dresses like a hobo for his act, will undergo bone marrow testing Wednesday and perform his final show of the season on Nov. 12. He was to have performed through Dec. 14."He's weak and not feeling well," Willie's secretary said.
The 65-year-old entertainer, who performs at the Boxcar Willie Theatre in Branson, Mo., has dropped 40 pounds in recent months and has difficulty breathing.
